Kick Off the School Year With a Puzzle About Myself Template

Looking for a creative way to build classroom community? Start the year with an It’s Me! Puzzle About Myself Template! This printable activity invites students to share information about themselves by designing their own printable puzzle pieces. When complete, the puzzle print-out templates come together to create a one-of-a-kind classroom display that shows how every student fits into the learning community.

 The It’s Me! Puzzle About Myself template is perfect for all grade levels and supports social-emotional learning right from day one.

An About Me Page Template That Builds Connections

This about me page template pack is designed to create unique puzzle piece artwork to share and display at the beginning of the school year.

To use, give each student a puzzle piece artwork template to decorate with drawings, writing, and creative expressions that represent their personality, interests, and goals. The finished product becomes a colourful and meaningful mosaic when the class pieces are connected together. 

We have included a labelled version for students needing additional guidance and two blank versions of the template for maximum creativity.
